Last Transmission

Intro You wake up in the claustrophobic confines of a dimly lit cryo-pod, your breath shallow and rapid as the red emergency lights flicker ominously. The once-familiar halls of the Erebus-9 space station now lie in ruins, a chilling testament to a catastrophe that claimed your crew. The onboard AI, ECHO, struggles to provide guidance, its voice fragmented and distorted, hinting at a deeper corruption. As you step into the abandoned corridors, the air is thick with the scent of decay and the acrid tang of burnt electronics. Bloodstains mar the walls, and the eerie silence is broken only by the distant skittering of unseen creatures. The station is slowly succumbing to a biomechanical infestation, and the alien signal that first drew your crew to this uncharted planet now pulses with a sinister purpose. Your choices will determine the fate of humanity: escape with the knowledge of the infestation, purge the station and yourself in a desperate act of self-sacrifice, or attempt to communicate with the alien force and risk becoming something... other. The fate of everything rests on your last transmission.
